We got married there in August. This venue is amazing. My wife loved it at first sight. The owners…read moreand the coordinator are out of this world, and so eager to make it a special day for you. I can not talk highly enough about this location. Truly amazing.

We signed a contract with Willow Creek Glass Chapel on 2-12-12. The contract stated the new…read morereception hall would hold up to 350 people. After friends of ours had attended a reception there, we called about inspecting it. When we saw the floor that had been installed, we knew there were problems. The floor was wavy and had edges sticking up everywhere. There must be very lax zoning laws in Harrison County to allow that floor to be used. We also understand the air condtioning would not cool the place down, and we were planning a July wedding.Their website now states up to 300 people capacity, not 350 as they told us. In July, 2012, after our inspection, we decided to change venues. Since I had paid $2,000 as a deposit, with only $1,000 required in the contract, I asked for $1,000 back. TWO WEEKS, after my request, and second request, they refused to refund the extra $1,000. Actually, the main problem working with the Willow Creek owners were their terriible communication skills. My wife and daughter had set an appointment with the female owner, and she did not show up. No communication from her what so ever and it is a 25 mile drive for us. Any calls left or emails sent were not returned for days, if we were lucky. With the new venue we picked, communication was great! When I had finally pestered them enough about the refund and threatened to take them to court for the $1,000, the male owner FINALLY MANNED UP and decided he could respond to me. He emailed me that he could be out $5,000 if the wedding did not happen. If their fee is $3,000, how can he be out $5,000. As an owner of a small business, I know communication and reviews are everything. They obviously don't!

Sam Clark Photography is the perfect choice for a bride on a budget who wants creativity, style,…read moreand flexibility. The wedding photographer I originally booked about a year in advance bailed on us, and only a few months before the wedding (when stress levels were sky high, let me tell you!) Sam rescued us. He was very interested in the types of photos I liked, while also maintaining his artistic style. I felt like I got to customize the entire day as the little wedding pinterest junkie I was, while still getting all the professional guidance of a pro. Sam has a great personality for this industry. He is laid back and accommodating, but also very conscientious about providing the best quality and service. My sister, and also one of my bridesmaids, is mentally handicapped and I was concerned with the photography at the wedding because she often strikes a very stiff and unnatural pose when she knows she is being photographed. It's hard for her to hold a good smile for longer than 10 seconds, which is potentially problematic in a photo-documented event like a wedding. Sam was great in getting her to relax and be comfortable in front of the camera. He found a way to get her to smile more naturally, and keep her smile from falling by cuing her right before the shot was taken. I so appreciated the time he took to ease my concerns and ensure all the photos looked great. Once the photos are all edited and ready to go, Sam puts them in an online gallery (password protected) so you can share them with family and friends. I also received a disc containing all the finished photos, so I can use them for years to come. :)

Besides getting to marry each other, the best part of our wedding was Sam Clark! We were absolutely…read moreblown away by his professionalism, ability, and personality. Sam showed incredible dedication to making our day and our memories just as we wanted them. We live in New York and came home to Omaha for our wedding. Choosing the photographer from afar was tricky and we spent more time thinking about how we could or whether we even should decide without having the chance to talk to one in person. But from literally the moment we met him just 4 days in advance of our wedding, we instantly knew we made the right choice. Sam is incredibly thoughtful. He figured out our style and delivered an experience that matched us exactly. He was early for everything, giving a sense of security and peace of mind any nervous couple yearns for. He met his timeline giving us previews in a week, an assorted selection in 3 weeks, and our full set of 600 or so prints in a month mailed to our home in a month. And I won't give away the surprise, but HOW we sent the pictures was so cute, thoughtful, personal, unique...an unexpected touch that was like 4 cherries on top of a delicious experience. And his photographs! Amazing! He knows his equipment and uses it to its full potential. Even under extreme lighting conditions, the pictures are unbelievable. In the direct sun, in the shadowy hallways of an old mansion, and even in some pretty extreme action shots the pictures are flawless. The only thing we regret is that we can't have Sam with us for every big party in our lives...but we sure would if we could! Thank you Sam for the memories! With gratitude..
